I need to replace the cunningham lines on my 1996 Melges.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what brand/type of line I should use without breaking the bank?
I could use some tips or a procedure for actually replacing the lines?
Melges says the line is about 22', but is that per side or the total length? What diameter of line should I use?

 have you talked to Sam or Andy- they can send you the correct lines to replace the old ones.  As for actually replacing them - you should be able to tie a small feeder line to the end of the old line  - then pull the old line out replacing it with the feeder line.   Then tir ethe feeder line to the new line and pull it back through.  Hope you either have done this are can do it now. 

Great work onthe new look for the site Hans.
Whos going to Dallas? If we do not make a good showing this year, the C boats might not be going back. Lets keep this great regatta going strong.
